The government on Saturday said that it has decided to advance the dates for implementation of the roll out of higher level Bharat Stage (BS) V & VI norms for the four-wheelers by three years.

The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways drafted a notification to roll out the BS-V and BS VI norms from April 1, 2019 & April 1, 2021 respectively.

As per the roadmap earlier lay down by the Auto Fuel Policy, BS-V norms were to be implemented from April 1, 2022 & BS-VI from April 1, 2024.

The Ministry’s decision does not mean that it will skip BS-V and go in for BS-VI standards directly. At one stage, there had been contemplation over skipping the BS-V stage for faster redressal of the pollution issues. But many automotive bodies, including SIAM, had opposed the skipping of the BS-V norms. The norms aim at the substantial reduction in NOx/4C levels.

The Ministry’s statement attributed the advancement of implementation dates to Nitin Gadkari’s “keenness” that the road transport sector must take the lead role in dropping the harmful effects of emissions on environment and climate change. This reveals a firm commitment to play a chief role in reducing vehicular emissions.

The Ministry said draft norms for two & three-wheeler categories will be notified shortly with advanced timelines similar to the four wheeler category.

Currently, nearly 35 cities in India follow the BS-IV norms with the rest adhering to the BS-III standards.

Different Ministries have been debating over the timeline for the introduction of the BS-V and VI emission standards.

Many countries in the West have already put a Euro-VI standard in place. BS-VI is its equivalent. As things stand, India is 5 years behind the emission standards already adopted by European countries.

According to the Centre’s expert committee, the automobile industry would require investments worth Rs 50,000 Crore for transitioning from BS-IV to BS-V. And an amount of Rs 60,000 Crore will be essential to produce BSIV/BSV diesel from refineries.

This Implementation would definitely lead to rise in price in new vehicle market and thus it would be difficult for people to own the vehicle. But being the leader in the used vehicle industry, Shriram Automall India Limited will come to the rescue of such people who can invest their resources in commercial vehicles and used cars in India.

Driving is very easy but you have to take a lot of precautions in order to learn to drive safe. Few important tips to help you learn driving easily and safely:

Drive Under the Guidance: The first and foremost tip for every learner is to always drive under somebody’s guidance before you get familiar to all controls. The person who is teaching you must have some experience in training or instructing others for this purpose. It is recommended to learn driving from a recognized driving school. The teacher will help you know the dos and don’ts of the driving process. You can always pick up some valuable lessons from them and add it to your skills profile.

Adjust the Driver’s Seat: Every amateur driver must know how to adjust the seat for a proper & comfortable position and adjust the rear view mirrors to properly manage control over the car. Always sit upright with your back well supported by the seat to prevent tiredness or injuries. Even pro drivers must adjust the seat properly to be fully in control over the car.

Excel the Basics: One of the most important car driving tips for beginners, always try to excel in the car driving basics to easily handle the car in future as well. The speed is not that necessary as much excelling in basic instruction and plans is. Learn how to slow down, apply brake in emergency, and most notably how to get out from traffic.

Have a Calm and Composed Mind: It is the first thing to be learnt, always remember a calm mind saves and works more efficiently under pressure and critical situations than a chaotic one. Try to drive without panicking and get out of the traffic around you. It will help in preventing any kind of mishaps in future and add up as a skill in your driving resume.

Follow Rules and Regulations: As much you would hate to obey, never forget you are walking on roads and not in school. Any kind of mistake while driving can injure someone badly or in worse conditions end somebody’s or your own life. There is nothing wrong in following traffic rules and taking care of yours and other’s life.

Do not use Mobile Phones: The most important driving tip for learners, ‘do not use mobile phones while driving’. Mobile phones disturb your concentration and engage your attention and hands. It is highly advised not to take calls or revert to messages, keep your eyes on the road and handle the steering wheel properly.

Learn When to Shift Gears: It is one thing that you learn only with the time and is included in the later or final car driving tips for the beginners. It is important to learn about the right time to change the gears and not to develop a habit of frequent gear shifting as it can cause wear and tear to your car way too early.

If you are learning to drive and planning to get a car, connect with Shriram Automall where you can easily own second hand cars in India of your choice. Used Cars can be easily acquired through Shriram Automall’s online as well as physical bidding platform.

Purchasing a pre-owned tractor makes sense as you can save a lot money or might get one in your limited resource, depending upon your situation and needs. Well-maintained used tractors provide close-to-new situation at a lesser cost for those looking to add to their fleet or make their very first equipment purchase.

Purchasing pre-owned is easy to justify, not only for yourself, but also for your business/financial partner. The difficult part of the decision is actually selecting the right pre-owned equipment for your situation. Before purchasing a used tractor, consider the following:

1) Owning a Tractor and Car is not a Same Thing

While you decide to own a tractor, you tend to come across many factors in between the process. While purchasing a used tractor is totally different from purchasing a car or any two wheelers as tractors involve working on terrains of carrying off loads.

2) Identify The Needs

A tractor has many types and before you do anything else, it’s a good idea to narrow down the category that best suits your specific needs. The most common types of tractors include:

• Compact Utility Tractors – These are smaller tractors designed to be used for many everyday landscaping and grounds maintenance applications.

• Utility Tractors – Versatile in capability, general-use utility tractors are often used for grounds maintenance, wagon pulling, and even hay production.

• Row Crop Tractors – These tractors are more specialized in the tasks they are designed to perform. They are well-suited to work well with a range of field-use implements and applications.

• Articulated 4WD Tractors –Generally used in grain operations to handle tillage and seeding type work. Also often used for land leveling and dirt transportation.

3) Price is Important

The most important factor in any major purchase is the price of the asset. Quality used tractors are available even for the lowest budgets. If you have a pre-decided price you can easily make a decision about purchasing the used tractor.

4) Do Your Research

Once you’ve narrowed down your list to various used tractor models that would be perfect according to your needs and fits your budget, it’s now time to research about it. Look for all the particulars of the model, its capabilities, history and usage. You can use internet for this step or take the help of user manuals.

5) Finally Close the Deal

After deciding on a particular tractor, check for the transaction and finalise the deal. Ensure that the spare parts are available in future as well. Wrapping up the deal is typically quite straightforward once you’ve selected just the right tractor for your needs—most experienced sellers will be able to guide you through the process of closing the deal.

We all are aware of the fact that SUV’s are shrinking in India. Compact Sports utility vehicle & crossovers made the waves in 2014015, now get ready to be moved with the wave to be generate by micro SUV’s that car manufacturers will be launching early next year to woo the entry level buyers in the Rs 3-6 lakh bracket.

Renault Kwid took the market by storm with its SUV like looks 2016 will see the launch of some interesting micro SUV’s like Mahindra XUV 100 also called S101, Datsun’s Redi Go & leader Maruti Suzuki's Ignis, which is expected by the festive season next year.

Customers will also be able to buy the compact crossovers just by adding couple of lakhs. The list include Maruti Suzuki's sub-4 metre SUV based on the XA Alpha concept car, Tata Motors' stylish Nexon and Mahindra's upgraded Quanto — all expected within the price range ofRs 7 -Rs 8 lakh.

The 'entry SUV' or crossover-styled vehicle is a segment that's unique to India and a select few markets. It's the extension of the Indian car buyer's fondness for novelty, which resulted in the creation of sub-segments over the past decade including the 'entry-level sedan' and the various derivatives of compact cars and hatchbacks.

The key trigger for vehicle manufactures for shrinking the size of cars has been the government’s incentive to make smaller cars. A sub-4 meter vehicle attracts half the excise duty of 12 per cent for bigger vehicles. And these sub-4 meter sedans are making their way across the globe, potentially positioning India as a major export hub for this new segment.

Micro SUV’s to be launched next year includes:

In Today’s world constant care is required for your used cars to keep them like a new one. So we are providing you with easy maintenance tips that should be known by everyone and will definitely be proven useful for women.

(Image Source: caqu.co.uk)

Change the Flat Tire: There are a lot of chances of coming across a flat tire. Even greater than most of the mechanical issues but what’s worse than getting a flat tire is waiting on the help of someone to come and change it for you. So it’s better to learn changing tire by yourself to save your time and moreover you won’t have to depend on someone.

Change the worn out wipers: Wiper blades must be changed every six months. Check for cracks frequently, and remember to clean the dirty wiper blades with a wet paper towel.

Regular Maintenance: It is important to get yourself familiarized with the cars user manual booklet. Whether you buy used or new you should always research beforehand to educate yourself about certain important things. For Instance-:

o Oil change: Every 3000 miles with oil filter
o Under the hood: Check as frequently as possible. Once a week or in every 2 weeks.
o Tire rotation: Rotate the tires every 6,000 miles following the manufacturers’ rotation suggestion. If you have a matching spare, include it too in the rotation pattern so when it is time for change, it will run smooth and last long.
o Align & Balance: Have your car checked after every 10k-12k miles or the first time you notice any unusual steering or a vibration while speeding.
o Tune up, Filters and Timing belts: Make sure you follow up with manufactures recommendations

Fuel: Regular fuel is satisfactory for most subcompact cars and SUV’s but for the luxury vehicles, like Cadillac, Mercedes, Audi premium fuel is always recommended. The heavier the load inside of the car, the more power the engine will need to move the car. Weight indeed affects your fuel too. If you are traveling with lots of people or toting around luggage, expect your fuel to run out a little sooner. Nonetheless, having your fuel limit at the half or above will allow your car to run a bit smoother.

Brakes are most important: We get caught up in our day to day habits so much that we don’t pay attention to our car until there’s a major issue. One thing that can cost you a lot if not caught beforehand is brakes. Always pay attention to the sound your breaks make while driving. If you begin to hear squealing, it’s probably the right time to change your pads. Always be aware that while driving stay another car distance behind the car which is in front of you so when it comes time to stop, you will easily be able to do it. Don’t drive so close that you have to slam on your breaks every other second also texting while driving also causes sudden brake slam so it’s better to keep your phone out of your hands).

If you take care of your car properly, your car will take care of you. If your car doesn’t have a lot of issues to deal with you can avoid recurring huge expenses. So its better to do some research, read your manual beforehand.
